Product name defaulted on purchase order line in ax 2012 R3

Posted on by NishantM 32

For purchase orders, we use only procurement category to be defined at PO lines. In AX2012 R3CU8, when product category is defined, product name is defaulted with procurement category. How to avoid this? Appreciate your help on this.

Also, when I changed the text field on line details, product name is over written with this field.

    Sorry, perhaps I don't fully understand. You say the product name is sustituted with the category name.

    In your screenshot I see the category name and the product name still being the product name?

    Hi Nishantm,

    If your pO line does not have item number, once you select the procurement category, name field will get populated from ecoResCategory name. It won't come from item name field.

    Purchline text field is nothing but name field which get mapped from ecoResCategory and same name will mapped as product name field if item id is not present in PO line.

    So if you are updating the text field, same value will display in product name field.

    \Data Dictionary\Tables\PurchLine\Methods\modifiedField please put debuger in line 21 and check.

    Hi Rik,

    Product Name and text field originally substituted with category name but later when I changed text, product name also got changed automatically. Product name is linked to separate master - Item number. Isn't it a defect?

    Thanks Bhaskar. Any configuration to prevent this? Ideally product name should not get auto update from text field. Product name is all together a master data(item number).

    The code is like that. If item ID is present in purchline it will take from item master setup, if it is not there both will be same.  I have mentioned in my last investigation in details.

    Thanks everyone for the input, but is it possible that we can have an alternate to this challenge. Or we can perform some setting in AX to make sure text is not over-writing Product description.
